Robot Action at Midwest Regional!

FIRST Team 1625 is heading to Chicago this weekend to compete in the 20th Midwest Regional - there will be 52 teams from across the Midwest and several from Turkey. When it's available we'll post match list here and to social media

In person at the UIC Pavilion on the University of Illinois - Chicago campus at 525 S Racine Ave, Chicago, IL 60607.

Like all FIRST Robotics Competition events, the event is free and open to the public, though there may be a fee for parking.

If you do plan to attend, please remember to wear closed-toed shoes. Plan to visit the team pit area and talk to the students and ask them questions about their team and robot. We will have safety glasses available at the entrance or feel free to bring your own pair.

And remember…our team members, coaches, mentors, volunteers and Regional staff are all very friendly and will be happy assist you and to answer any questions that you may have.

If you do head into Chicago on Friday or Saturday, check Twitter or Facebook, or email team1625@gmail.com and we'll let you know where the team is sitting!
